"I'm probably going to be with my friends, or rehearsing," she told Seacrest. "I'll be like, working on the lighting rig, and lighting cues. And I don't think I'd rather be anywhere else, to be honest."

As she gears up for her "Red" tour in March, she's also going to release her next single, "22," in the spring.

"I wrote ['22'] about my friends. Finally, I've got this amazing group of girlfriends. We tell each other everything, we're together all the time," Swift said. "That was kind of the marker of me being 22, is like, having all these friends. There are a lot of question marks in your life, like where are you going, who are you going to meet, but the one thing that you have is each other."

And when she says she has a lot of friends, she's not being hyperbolic: "I would say I have 15 best friends," she told Seacrest.

With so much effort going into her friendships and career, it wouldn't be surprising if Swift stayed solo for a while. As she told Elle magazine in its March issue, appearances aren't what they seem.

“I’m sure if I looked up the latest Google Alerts rumor it would say I’m chasing somebody who doesn’t like me as much as I like him – people love that angle on me," she said. "They’re like 'Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys.' I never chase boys. They don’t like it!"

I do not even hate people whom I know very well and who have hurt me personally, as much as some people seem to hate a girl they have never met. no wonder the world is in such a sorry state with all this poison floating around.

Of course not. She lays there with the emotional maturity of a 12 year old Sleeping Beauty and after they get of banging her cold fish ass they bail, she writes a song about how much they suck and she wins another Grammy.

Why do I think the storyline is SOOOO "When Harry met Sally" except it isn't Harry. LOL. The world loved that movie because we all relate to it. They should SELL it because We would actually BUY that it more GENUINE then anything else. Good Luck.

LOL...if you only KNEW....I am the LAST person on the face of this Earth who should CARE...so why? Ask the HIM.. because I have never commented or read this kind of stuff before in my life...usually academic journals and bedtime stories to the kids. Came upon it by accident and followed the spiritual dots...figured these people probably don't get an honest no strings attached opinion often...although they do get a whole lot of darkness thrown at them. They can take it, leave it or laugh about it...

She claims that she doesn't chase boys, but she bought a house right across the street from a high school boy she'd dated for maybe a month (Conor Kennedy)? She needs a reality check...delusional, party of one.

I think for VD day, Taylor should hook up with the Biebs. She likes them young. He's single, she's single. She acts like a teenager, he is one. A match made in heaven? Think of all the great comments we could have if they hooked up!

CNN's main page has as an announcement of this article a link name that essentially says Taylor Swift doesn't go after boys as they don't like that. Yet, if one reads between the lines, I think the real message is radically different. I believe it has something to do with being "above" mortal young man.

And you're one of these 15 friends of her? Because you certainly are talking (out of your rear) as though you are when you've likely never met this woman and know nothing about her except what you've read on online rags. Think she spends her time trolling the internet reading rumors of other peoples' lives? Probably not.

Catchy songs, a lot of talent, and easy on the eyes.........but not sure why any guy would date her long term, since after the break up she will blast you for years in her songs. I'd still like her for a one night stand or a long weekend though.

Happy Valentine's Day hope you are with someone who actually loves you. Be brave enough to hear about the noise and forgiveness is the basis of love. Do NOT listen to your ladies...they do not want you to be happy it's called jealousy. The best love is always the one you RETURN to.

Yeah...but in her world she is old beyond her years. Look at the lifestyle and behavior of her, Beiber and all the other 'pop' princes/princess'. Justin was 17yrs old, shacking up with woman, drinking publicly and smoking pot....all accepted and never chastized by the media despite his age. Our 'adoration' of these 'celebettes' allow them to grow up way beyond their biological years.

Is anyone else tired of hearing about her failed love life? It seems to me she gets in these relationships so she canhave material to write her next song. I wish she would just grow up and stop annoying us with songs that where inspired by her being to loose.

Taylor Swift is worth any action you can get with her. Maybe it's a couple feels here and there or maybe it's just a few kisses... or maybe you can hit a home run. Regardless it's worth it. Sure she can write a song about you but in the end you can just say with a smug face "yeah I owned her and she got mad." So what, she makes the money, you get your 15 minutes of fame, everyone's a winner.

Besides, the only girls who wouldn't believe you're a nice guy are the teenage imbeciles who listen to her music anyway... unless you're really not a nice guy, lol.

Ahhh, what a lame excuse when it's probably more like no one wants to be near her, (and has probably already been said here in a thousand different ways). Like the lighting crew needs her input on how to rig the lights. "I probably be somewhere else". Show of hands, how many DON'T know where they're going to be on Valentine's Day, (except those who may be getting a surprise)? If she's going on a tour she knows exactly what she needs to be doing. And if I ever, ever, ever hear that song again I'm gonna hurl every, every, everything I've ever eaten.

Well Taylor is still a very young teenager.
She didn´t had the time for going around the school and be with 40 guys to check the one that was better...

Taylor, first rule you must learn: forget about famous people. They can be similar to you, great on bed and having money like you... but they are like you. Tied to the jobs they have and there is not a big time for going around.. that´s why you get with them to very romatic places but the things never go on a fairy tail.

Remember that You are You and everyone else is a stamp. You can check around but what you see is what you will get on the long run.
Hope you can get the one that will make you happy, funny and will block your craziness... even that some of that crazy will start to wind down is 2-3 years when you start to think on the life beyond.

She doesn't have a genuine man in her life because she's too busy busting on her ex's publicly in songs. Sure, I'd give up a lot of stuff for a night with her, but I'd be gone as soon as I was done. That's just the kind of girl she is and that's the kind of guys she's going to continue to get. But she's young, so she doesn't need a relationship.

I wouldn't let my son get within 100 miles of Taylor Swift. You notice that the "boyfriends" are getting fewer and farther between. Everyone is getting tired of having the the 4 week whirlwind relationship and then having their name trashed in song by a goofy, rich, spoiled, little girl. Why go through the nonsense?

Thank you for being a gentleman. It is depressing to read all the hate out there and impossible to avoid it. I have been trying to spread a little light where I can but there is a great deal of darkness being thrown. I can't understand, so many others are so much more deserving of criticism. I would like her to sing her more sophisticated songs, like The Last Time and leave the cats/girlfriends for a nice MAN but I think her PR team is off. They are holding onto this tweenie thing and she is so much better than that. Hopefully a close stable hand will guide her back to what she is brilliant at...meaningful songwriting.

Somehow I doubt she will be alone. If even one of her guys was MAN enough he would stick by her side and tell the world to BACK DOWN. I hope she doesn't spend it with girlfriends or cats that starts other rumors. Life is too short NOT to be with someone you LOVE. None of us knows how many days we have so don't give UP the dream Taylor and STOP listening to your PR people... they have no idea what they are doing. Do what your heart says is right.

Let it take you darling...in the end the only thing that EVER matters is the hand you hold. The greatest gift we can ever give is the gift of Love and sometimes we sacrifice other things in order to give it. To me she seems a lot like Marilyn Monroe, a beautiful soul who could easily get eaten up by the fame machine. I hope that doesn't happen... but she definitely looks like she trying to keep a stiff upper lip with bravado but her eyes speak to the fact that is not the case.

What class does she now have? She just threw away whatever class she may have had at the Grammys. She had a guy helplessly strapped to a rotation devise meant for torture in her performance. Very classy.

There is something dysfunctional about this girl.....she seems defiant, irritated and full of revenge....strange girl. I can't picture her with any guy. There is nothing sensuous about her. If she cut her hair and went without make-up, she could pass for a skinny boy.

You nailed it. There is some perculair about her....off and strange. She also very self centered and pouty (from observation). She has alot more growing up to do. She needs to work on interview skills.

What a bunch of jealous no talent stupid people making mean remarks about a lovely person as Taylor Swift. Maybe she gets dumped because she doesnt give it up to any of her dates ....unlike the hoes on here slamming her

She is beautiful and talented, I hope she finds someone that will appreciate her, she is very special.
She needs to date Men her Age, she seems to always pick the younger ones. She needs a real man, that
she can look up to.!

Teenagers are NOT MEN yet (Harry, Justin, Conor) and can not fulfill a twenty something year old...they are still babies. She needs a man at least 21 ...who is an adult. At that age the difference means something. Can you think of anyone that fits that range? I can.

Don't like her music, just not my thing, but, good luck to her. Just ignore all these haters, you will find a huge chunk of the world is extremly jealouse of you if you have more then them. What these people think means nothing, not even what I say, unless you want it to. Do what you want taylor, F the rest of the world 🙂

@Fightin Phil SOOOO TRUE. The sooner she learns her best friend should always be her MAN than she will keep a LTR because girls will always sabotage your relationships unless they are in good healthy ones themselves. I know 20 years with my own and I don't do girls night out and we are very happy together. You want an LTR ditch the single lady friends!

@ Fred M. I find you totally entertaining more so than the person you are defending. What I find really funny is you are defending someone who is a singer/star. You do not know her nor does she know you. If you did see her, would not give you the time of day. Really dude, get a life!

She's beautiful, talented and funny. To all those who call her names ...think about those names when you are taking your own garbage out, when you have to postpone taking a vacation because of "lack of funds", take a look at yourself before judging her or anyone else for that matter.

You hit the nail on the head: There are a lot of bitter, jealous people posting on here. They envy Taylor Swift's beauty, talent, success, and popularity. They call her names and insult her in a pathetic attempt to make themselves feel better about their own sub-par looks, dead-end jobs, and lack of talent. When I read their comments, I envision some acne-scarred, overweight, bitter person angrily typing in some dingy room with a cigarette dangling out of their mouth.

If you read the above and it made you mad, please feel free to insult me, call me names, tell me how I'm wrong and that you're a beautiful, successful, talented person with a promising career. At least that will redirect your fire away from Taylor Swift, who has never said a negative thing about any of you in her whole life.

Anybody else sick of her songs always being about the SAME thing? Girl.... if you do this when your 30, just jump off a bridge. What was the whole John Mayer thing? How old is that guy? Did you listen to the rumors.... actually Truths??? Geez.

I hope to God you are a gym or shop teacher given your inability to use capital letters, punctuation ,or words with more than two syllables. "Looks dumb?" Seriously? That's your idea of an intellitgent critique?

Face reality: You are jealous of her fame, beauty, and success. She's a talented songwriter with a command of the English language that you are sorely lacking. Her IQ has been estimated to be between 122 an 124, which is well above average. She's well-spoken and poised in interviews. It's not her fault that your life isn't what you would like it to be, so you need to back off.

And you are using "ain't" as a contraction for what two words? "Am not", "is not", "are not", "has not", "have not," "do not", "does not", or "did not"? Were you trying to say "Your EQ am not looking too good for months now."?

If you are going to post negative comments about someone's IQ, you should get someone to help you compose a literate sentence.

Actually... there IS an EQ. It's like IQ, just for emotions (I can be wrong, but EQ does exist). Look it up before you actually assume someone meant IQ.

The guy is basically saying your EQ is low. To be honest, your inability to deal with an average forum poster is quite sufficient evidence to back it up. No one talked about your IQ. Notice how "E" and "I" are not even near each other on the keyboard. You get offended by other people's comments and then start hurling insults at them? Very mature. Taylor Swift will be successful regardless of who comments for or against her; that is a fact. Don't get your panties in a bunch because some "haters" have some choice words for someone they will never meet in their lifetime. Perhaps you're not used to forums and don't know that the majority of posters here are either young teenagers or just young adults bored at their job.

Fred M..touchy. Her interview skils are slightly lacking reduced to a 16 year olds style rather than a 22 year old. For example, it is not proper to start a sentence with "like" unless of course you are a teen or teen of the 80s. Also, she may feel like a teen hence dating 18 year old boys rather than men her own age. She is about annoying as a fly buzzing in past my ear. There is no jealousy...she just really is that annoying. I admire other stars like Carrie Underwood who is by far more famous and talented than Taylor will ever be. Sorry here today gone tomorrow type of star. She will have to change ALOT if she is going have staying power like (in the proper content) not writing a song after ex-boyfriend who dated for 2 week to a month.
